The present disclosure relates to a hybrid cable having a jacket with a central portion positioned between left and right portions. The central portion contains at least one optical fiber and the left and right portions contain electrical conductors. The left and right portions can be manually torn from the central portion.

An inter-vehicle communication device of a vehicle provided with an electrical coupler that constructs a communication path with another vehicle by using an electric contact with said another vehicle is provided. The inter-vehicle communication device has: a communication control circuit controlling a communication with said another vehicle; a pulse transformer arranged between the communication control circuit and the electrical coupler; and a power supply device arranged between a middle point of the pulse transformer and the electrical coupler to apply a direct-current voltage to the electric contact between the electrical coupler and an electrical coupler of said another vehicle.

An assembly includes: a foundation structure; first and second cables having a flattened profile; and a mounting member engaging the first and second cables such that the first and second cables are arranged in stacked relationship and are mounted to the foundation structure.

A protective apparatus for telecommunication lines includes a mounting frame, a transition platform coupled to the mounting frame, and a protective skirt that is coupleable to the mounting frame. The mounting frame includes at least one sidewall having a sidewall opening to allow passage of a telecommunication line. The transition platform includes an opening to allow passage of the telecommunication line to an adjacent telecommunications terminal. The protective skirt includes a cutout corresponding in shape to the sidewall. The mounting frame, the transition platform and the protective skirt define an internal space when the protective skirt is coupled to the mounting frame. The telecommunications lines enter and exit the internal space by passing through the openings in the sidewalls, thus permitting removal of the protective skirt without the need to remove some or all of the telecommunications lines from the mounting frame or the telecommunications terminal.

In various representative aspects, an apparatus for securing conduit to solar panel arrays that are typically installed on roof structures. More specifically, the assembly comprises a mount that is coupled to a solar panel module or a rail-less wire conduit structure for securing wire conduit alongside the perimeter of an array of solar panel modules.

Circuit breaker panels for use in, e.g., residential and light commercial applications. The circuit breaker panels are configured to perform conventional safety functions and are also configured for remote control and monitoring. The circuit breaker panels can be constructed with remote control and monitoring capability, and circuit breaker panels lacking remote control and monitoring capability can be augmented to include remote control and monitoring capability.

A rain-tight fitting for connecting electrical metal tubing to an electrical box in a rain-tight fit. The rain-tight fitting includes a fitting body having a leading end adapted to connect to the knockout of an electrical box and a trailing end adapted to create a rain-tight fit with an end of electrical metal tubing (EMT). One or more sleeves are seated within a trailing bore of the fitting body and are held in place by a fastener. A necked-down wall portion on the sleeve contacts the outer periphery of the EMT as it is inserted into the trailing end of the fitting. After the EMT is fully inserted within the trailing end of the fitting, the fastener is tightened to drive the fastener against the outer periphery of the EMT, thereby providing a grounding path between the fitting, the electrical box, and the EMT.

An electrical connection point configured to electrically connect an electric load in a dwelling to a power grid. The connection point includes: a wall block, including first connection elements, the wall block configured to be mounted securely in a wall of the dwelling such that the first connection elements are electrically connected to corresponding portions of the grid; and a functional block configured to provide a specific electric function and including second connecting elements, wherein the functional block is configured to be removably mounted in the wall block, and thus interchangeable, the attachment providing the electrical connection of the second connection elements to the corresponding portions of the grid via the first connection elements, to allow the electric function to be brought into service.

A device for ventilating and electrically powering a computer of an engine of an aircraft, the device including a feed mechanism feeding air to a proximity of the computer and a fan connected to a drive mechanism and configured to generate a stream of air for ventilating the computer. The fan is mounted in the air feed mechanism, and the drive mechanism includes an electrical machine configured to operate as a motor for driving the fan, and as a generator for powering the computer, a rotor of the machine when operating as a generator being driven by the fan, which is itself driven by a stream of air flowing in or leaving the air feed mechanism.

An electrical receptacle cover, comprising a cover base, configured to be affixed to an electrical receptacle assembly. The cover base including a base surface having at least one opening configured to be aligned with an electrical receptacle of the electrical receptacle assembly. The cover base includes a base wall disposed about and extending from a perimeter of the base surface and the base surface and the base wall together define a base cavity. There is a cover lid interconnected with the cover base and it is moveable, via a hinge, from an open position, in which the base cavity is exposed, to a closed position in which the base cover is substantially disposed within the base cavity.
